pop riveted to my quarter panel and lower bumper.
I guess I don't have a shot of the actual inside...but its basically riveted at the edge in a few spots all the way to the bottom. the uhmw is 3/16"...so its stiff enough that the inside edge doesn't need to be mounted to anything. Jon Burke - KI6LSW Blog: http://psgrallywrx.blogspot.com/ |

oh, here you go...but this side doesn't have a bumper cover, so I riveted it to something else.

Rivits? Ew!
I bolted 1" aluminum angle onto the outside of the fender and then bolted the mudflaps on to those with big washers. Cant see em in this pic, but I'll post it anyways. 
Rivits sounds like they'd get ripped off. Mine will tear the fenders off before the flaps tear off, I used plastic (polysomethingalene) from www.argonics.com Its generally used to line mine rock hoppers, so its specially made with resistance to abrasion from rocks. Only problem is that its $400 for a 4x8 sheet, but I went in and asked nice and they gave me a defect roll for free! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/23/2008 06:57PM by Carl S. |

FWIW, here's snapshop of my mudflap setup. They're mounted to the frame as well (under the body)
oh, and my car is white now...  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/08/2009 09:55AM by deviantek. |
